Incredulous, I explained to her that I had purchased the entire tank system only last week, and I had been clear with the previous employee that we intended to buy two small goldfish. She told me that since goldfish grow to ten inches, I would have to have a tank that could accommodate such a fish. When I informed her it was five gallons, she stopped and informed me she could not sell me goldfish.

A helpful employee advised us as to set-up and the necessary time for the tank to be hospitable for fish. ![]() ![]() To reward his hard work in 3rd grade, we purchased an aquarium kit from the store.
